Extract

In BSA lxviii I discussed some fragments belonging to a Mycenaean deep bowl krater on which a chariot and a parasol can be identified (Plate 8a). The fragments come from the Citadel House area at Mycenae and date to LH IIIB. The attempt to reconstruct the original representation on the vase centred on the position of the parasol, whether it was inside or outside the chariot. The former was considered the more likely possibility, partly in the light of a few Mycenaean terracotta chariot models which feature parasols. A precise reconstruction could not be made owing to the extremely fragmentary nature of the krater.
